Xiao Ji's words made Tian Feng silent.

Although when they were under Yuan Shao's command, the two did not deal with each other, and even sometimes hated to let each other die, but in the final analysis, the two still understood each other.

Xiao Ji knew that with Tian Feng's temperament, he would not easily surrender to the potter, and he would rather choose to die.

But Tian Feng must have reached some kind of agreement with the potters to get to this point.

But what this agreement is, Xiao Ji can't guess.

It had nothing to do with him, but curiosity made him cheeky enough to ask the former nemesis about it.

The baby is curious.

Tian Feng glanced at Xiao Ji coldly and said, "You want to know?" ”

Xiao Ji hesitated for a moment, and then nodded vigorously.

saw Tian Feng stretch out a finger and hooked it at him.

Xiao Ji hurriedly poked his head over and listened.

saw Tian Feng leaning over and yelled at his ear: "Tell you a fart!" Get out of here! Don't be an eyesore here! ”

Xiao Ji was shouted by Tian Feng like this, and his brain was buzzing!

He picked out his ears vigorously, shook his sleeves vigorously at Tian Feng, and said, "Tian Yuanhao, you can do it!" We'll see! ”

With that, he picked his ears and hurried away.

Tian Feng looked at the departing figure of Xiao Ji, and his expression suddenly declined.

He smiled bitterly and said with emotion as if helpless: "Conditions? What conditions can I have? So far, to be able to keep a bloodline for the general, the old man's wish is nothing more than that......"

……

The next day, Yuan Tan and Gao Gan's Bingzhou army and the Jinling army led by Zhao Yun and Xu Chu began to march towards the west together.

According to the information provided by the school government, they went to recruit Yuan Xi.

Yuan Xi and other remnants protected Yuan Shao's coffin, and they were now guarding a valley on the border between Shangdang County and Wei County.

After Yuan Tan arrived at the battlefield, he immediately approached Zhao Yun, Xu Chu and others to discuss the strategy of entering the army.

Yuan Tan can be polite to others, but in front of Zhao Yun and Xu Chu, the two fierce generals, he really doesn't dare to be too nervous.

One of these two people won against Lu Bu back then, and the other drew with Lu Bu......

No matter how hard Yuan Tan is, he doesn't dare to brush their tiger whiskers easily.

"General Zhao, the news of the school government's investigation can now be sure to be true, Yuan Xi is indeed guarding the valley, I heard that Yuan Shao's coffin is also among them, they are weak and weak, let's cooperate with the two sides to cover up and kill it, we will definitely win in one battle!" Yuan Tan suggested to Zhao Yun.

Zhao Yun smiled and nodded, and said politely: "Yuan Jizhou's tactics are direct and decisive. ”

Zhao Yun's words made Yuan Tan fluttering, especially the sentence Yuan Jizhou, how to listen to it and feel comfortable.

Zhao Yun turned his head to look at Tian Feng and said: "When Zhao came, the prime minister once instructed me, Mr. Yuan Hao is a wise man in the world, before and after the war, when I ask Mr. what he means, I don't know what Mr. thinks?" ”

Tian Feng stroked his gray beard and said: "Yuan Xi is in the valley, the soldiers are tired, he is the division of the weak brigade, there is no need to worry, now he needs to think about the reputation of the prime minister, according to the old man's wishes, it is better to send someone in to recruit them!" If you are in a play, you can show the world the magnanimity of the prime minister. ”

Yuan Tan's face was full of impatience: "It's a fart!" How easy it is to kill straight in! ”

Zhao Yun raised his hand lightly and said with a smile: "Alas, Yuan Jizhou doesn't have to worry, and listen to Mr. Yuan Hao's words." ”

Tian Feng nodded at Zhao Yun and said: "Yuan Jizhou, now Hebei has just been pacified, and it is necessary to appease people's hearts, and now Yuan Shao's coffin is there, if Yuan Xi and a group of generals and strategists can be recruited to surrender, one can increase the momentum of the imperial court, the second can also show the prime minister's broad mind, and the third is ...... If Yuan Shao's coffin can be moved to Yecheng for burial, and posthumously sealed in the name of the imperial court, the benevolence and prestige of the prime minister and gentleman can not only spread throughout Hebei, but also throughout the entire Han land. ”

Yuan Tan was anxious, and hurriedly looked at Zhao Yun and said, "General Zhao, this is too delayed!" ”

"Hey!" Zhao Yun raised his hand to block Yuan Tan's words: "The huge Hebei has been pacified. Why is there a small valley in this area, according to Mr. Tian's words, send someone in and say that it will be lowered, if it doesn't work, it's not too late to do a conquest! Why bother with these days? ”

Yuan Tan was speechless.

Zhao Yun looked at Tian Feng with a smile and said, "Mr. Tian, in your opinion, who should be sent as an envoy?" ”

Tian Feng said: "The people in charge of assisting Yuan Xi are Xin Ping and Xun Chen, they are all former colleagues such as us, Xiao Ji and Guo Tu have just surrendered, and they have some friendship with those two, so you might as well let them go together...... Yuan Jizhou can be protected by peers. ”

Yuan Tan heard the words and said, "What am I protecting!" Yuan is the head of one side, how to protect the two of them? ”

Tian Feng said hesitantly: "General Ke Zhengdong and General Wuwei (Zhao Yun and Xu Chu) are both Tao Chengxiang's people, if they go, I am afraid that it will cause public anger, and others go, I am afraid that they will not be able to protect Guo Tu Xiaoji......"

Over there, Gao Gan stood up and said, "Since that's the case, then I'll go."

A smug smile flashed at the corner of Tian Feng's mouth, and then he said, "It's so good." ”

After the agreement was decided, everyone broke up and went back to prepare for the mission.

Yuan Tan was indignant in his heart, and after the account was released, he grabbed Xu Chu and complained: "General Xu, it's not Yuan who said General Zhao, then Tian Feng is not a person, what kind of person is Tian Feng, what should General Zhao do, what is it that is quite simple, but let him make it so complicated, why don't you open your mouth to persuade him?" ”

Xu Chu didn't expect Yuan Tan to ask him, and he was stunned at first.

But then, I saw this man grinning, and said with a smile: "Yuan Jizhou asked a certain family about such things, but he looked down on me and me, but a certain family had to fight on weekdays, and such a cumbersome thing really didn't understand." ”

Yuan Tan snorted.

But Xu Chu immediately changed his words: "But when the prime minister came, he did say that he wanted to use this conquest of Yuan Xi to subdue the loyalty of Mr. Tian and others, since it is to subdue their loyalty, the easiest way is to agree to approve his plan, a certain family doesn't know if it's right to say this?" ”

Yuan Tan was choked by Xu Chu's silly smile and straightforward answer, and was speechless.

Xu Chu said hesitantly: "When this matter is over, Yuan Gongzi can return to Yecheng to take charge of Jizhou, just one last time, why should you be anxious?" ”

Yuan Tan was stunned, and finally sighed.

……

The next day, Gao Gan, Guo Tu, and Xiao Ji entered the valley together.

Before the group could reach the Yuan camp, they suddenly heard Xiao Ji ask Gao Gandao: "General Yuancai took the initiative to ask Ying to send us into the valley yesterday, thinking that he should have made a few calculations, and the general's move is wise." ”

Gao Gan's heart jumped slightly.

Before he set out on the expedition, Sima Yi had secretly seen himself, and vaguely proposed to himself that this expedition should be more thoughtful, and told him in a roundabout way that this expedition was a good opportunity to express himself, and if it was done, he would definitely be reused by the prime minister in the future.

Gao Gan has always had this thought, so he took the initiative to ask for help yesterday.

Gao Gan hurriedly said to the two: "May I ask the two gentlemen, what does the prime minister mean by this?" ”

Guo Tu said slowly while beating the horse: "General Yuancai is also a smart person, don't you still understand this thing?" Prime Minister Yuan Er is fake, and Yuan is true. ”

In fact, since Sima Yi had secretly talked to him, Gao Gan had vaguely guessed about this matter.

He looked back and forth at the two of them and said, "Who knows about this?" ”

Guo Tu said with a smile: "Counting General Gao, in the entire camp, I'm afraid that only Yuan Tan himself doesn't know, what is the general's plan?" If you want to help Yuan Tan, you can kill us here. ”

Gao Gan is not a fool, if you don't stand in line at this time, when will you stand in line?

"Don't doubt it, gentlemen! Yuan Tan's kindness to me back then, I handed over his military power to merge with the state soldiers last time, and I have already repaid him, and this time I want to repay the prime minister's kindness. ”

Guo Tu laughed when he heard this: "General Gao, you are also a person who really understands the times!" If you help, that's half the story. ”

Later, the three of them came to the outside of Yuan Xi's camp in the valley and asked to meet him.

Yuan Xi heard that Guo Tu and Xiao Ji were coming, so he naturally let them in.

The senior cadre has a special identity and is inconvenient to meet, so Xiao Ji asked him to lead the troops to wait outside the village.

Yuan Xi's village was in ruins, and there were remnants of defeated soldiers everywhere.

As soon as he saw Guo Tu and Xiao Ji, Yuan Xi directly cried.

"Two gentlemen, why did you come so late?"

Guo Tu looked at the people in the handsome tent and saw that they were all yellow-faced and thin, embarrassed.

Guo Tuchang sighed and said, "Second son, where is the coffin of the lord?" ”

Yuan Xi wiped his tears and said, "It's in the back tent...... For so many days, I have never been buried in the ground, and I am really ashamed to be a son! ”

Xiao Ji stepped forward and said to Guo Tu: "Let's go and pay homage to the general first." ”

"Slow!"

Xun Chen said to stop the two of them: "You two don't have to do superfluous things, I already know that you have surrendered to the pottery merchant, why are you here now?" There's no need to be pretended, just say something directly! ”

Guo Tu smiled bitterly and said, "Youruo, do you remember the general's dying words?" ”

Xun Chen said lightly: "Naturally remember." ”

"The general once said that after the defeat, if anyone surrenders to the pottery merchant, he can go by himself, but under the command of the pottery merchant, he needs to find a way to keep the blood of the Yuan family...... Do you remember that? ”

Xun Chen frowned, looking a little hesitant.

Although he hated Guo Tu and Xiao Ji's betrayal, Yuan Shao did say this, which belonged to his last words.

Regarding Guo Tu's words, he really couldn't question it, and he had nothing to say.

But Yuan Xi obviously grasped another important point!

"What does Mr. Guo mean is that he is here specifically to give me a way out?"

Guo Tu snorted and said: "Not only are we here to give the second son a way to live, but our Hebei ministers and the second prince will unite together this time, and together we will get rid of the rebel traitor, and avenge the general and the third son, so as to comfort their souls in the sky!" ”
